Holiday cancellation
When I had to cancel our holiday, because my husband had just died, I was told that I would loose 90% of the cost of the holiday, due to cancelling so close to the departure date.
At the end of the conversation, the person I had spoken with, asked me if I would rate his service, if I was sent a link, to which I replied, " My husband has just died.!! That's the last thing I want to do ".

Tony was a fantastic tour manager and…
Tony was a fantastic tour manager and catered to our every needs. We were 3 single ladies on this holiday to Belfast and it was ideal. We loved the hotel and it was in a great Central position. It was very comfortable and breakfast was great. The tour ticked all our wishlist and even the weather was kind for the most part. This is the 2nd Newmarket Holiday I've done and both have been excellent. I'm looking forward to the next 2 I've booked. They're great value for money and the guides are top class.
PS Tony advised about a discount code for future bookings. I had already booked 2 more holidays, one of which was over 15 months away (long haul). I was told I wasn't eligible for the discount as I'd already booked the holiday. I wasn't best pleased and let Newmarket know. As a gesture of goodwill and because I was a loyal customer, they gave me the discount (£100). Fantastic news and a fantastic company. I will be booking again with them.

Dear Tina,
Thank you for such a fantastic review!
We’re thrilled to hear that Tony was a fantastic Tour Manager and looked after you so well throughout your Belfast holiday. It’s wonderful to know that he catered to your needs and helped make the trip such an enjoyable experience for the three of you.
We’re also delighted that you loved the hotel, its central location, and the breakfast, and that the tour managed to tick all the boxes on your wishlist — with some kind weather thrown in too!
It means a great deal to hear that this was your second Newmarket Holiday and that both experiences have been excellent. Knowing you already have another two holidays booked with us is the best compliment we could ask for!
We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Tony. Here’s to your next two adventures — we hope they’re every bit as enjoyable!

What brilliant service we received
What brilliant service we received, we had trouble trying to get our boarding passes from Easy Jet, who gave us no help. We rang Newmarket and Tasha came to our rescue, she talked us through every step of the way, she was clear in providing the information, was very patient and pleasant. We couldn’t have done it without her help. Thank you Tasha, you’re a gem, much appreciated.

We have just returned from the Belfast and Titanic Experience tour. We had a great time. Tony, our tour manager was welcoming, extremely helpful, knowledgeable and overall just a great tour guide. Nothing was too much bother for him. From the welcoming text before we left home to the farewell message after we left. I’d highly recommend this tour to everyone

Rang back by Jesse
Rang back by Jesse (Robertson). He introduced himself, I informed him that I had a problem in obtaining boarding passes from Easy Jet, assured me that he was there to help me. He kept me informed of actions he was taking and emailed passes. I enquired which seats we had been allocated and told I would have to contact EasyJet if I wanted allocated seat, this would incur additional cost.
Not informed of this when booking.
Jesse was very, very patient with me as I kept interrupting and asking questions. Never rushed or interrupted me.
He sounded happy as if he enjoyed his work and that made me smile. 😄

What a great team
The trip was excellent from landing at Belfast airport to being dropped off going back to Newcastle. Tony, the tour manager,couldn’t have been any better. He was so easy to get along with with a great sense of humour. His knowledge was second to none. Martin, who drove the coach, was also a lovely guy. He was able to advise on all the best pubs to visit and his driving was excellent. All in all they were a great team, a credit to your company. I really enjoyed my holiday and it was made all the better by these two guys

Pousadas in Portugal. Ryanair flight booking
I want to give a 5 star review to JESSE
for his help and patience with our flights for our Pousadas in Portugal Holiday .
Despite following Newmarket’s instructions as to the process of booking our flight seats so that we could check in - it was almost impossible !!!
I telephoned for advice and help having nieces have to do this for ourselves.
Reason for booking the holiday was because we thought all arrangements would be organised by Newmarket Not so !!
We have previously travelled with SAGA where EVERYTHING was done by them.
